According to Burger Business, Wendy's Japan added three
limited-time offers to the menu: the Lobster Surf & Turf Burger, the
Premium Caviar & Lobster sandwich, and the Ocean Premium Salad. Each is
piled high with whole
pieces of lobster sourced from Canada.

The Surf & Turf burger is a typical Wendy's hamburger
with pieces of lobster sitting atop the square patty. The Premium Lobster &
Caviar sandwich does not contain beef, and is instead topped with lobster meat,
lobster, salad, and  you guessed it  caviar. The salad contains lobster chunks as
well as lobster salad. The higher-end burgers each cost 1,280 yen ($16.28),
while the salad is pricier at 1,580 yen ($20.11).

Wendy's isn't the only chain trying to liven up its menu.
Foodbeast reports that customers at Checkers and Rally's drive-in restaurants
can now bypass the difficulty of having to order and consume a burger and fries
separately. The chain now offers the Fry Lover's Burger, which is a burger topped with seasoned fries. Apparently the burger will only set you back a
buck.

Slater's 50/50 has also outdone itself this month. According
to Foodbeast, following its limited-time all-bacon Merica Burger, the
Southern California restaurant has come up with what it's calling the 50
Alarm Burger. In honor of August, California's hottest month, Slater's 50/50
created California's hottest burger.

Customers must sign a waver before consuming the 50 Alarm
Burger, which is made up of, "their signature fire beef patty, topped with sliced
jalapenos, three-alarm Colby Jack cheese, beer battered unseeded and aged cream
cheese stuffed habanero poppers, and a ghost chili bacon spread on a white
brioche bun." For all the heat lovers out there willing to try this fiery
burger, Ghost Chilies — also known as Naga Bhut Jolokia — which are featured in the burger's
spread, are rated in the millions on the Scoville heat scale.
